Summary of the Benefits of CBD Oil?

What
are
the benefits of CBD oil and what kind of health effects can you enjoy?

One of the best ways to answer that question is by looking at a
2013 study published in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology. That
study analyzed multiple CBD oil studies that had been performed to date and
found that the compound had been linked with all of the following benefits and
medical properties:

— Anti-tumoral/Anti-Cancer: CBD has been shown to reduce the
growth of cancer cells and fight back against tumors.

— Anxiolytic/Anti-Depressant: Reduces anxiety and treats the
symptoms of depression.

CBD also has one more benefit: it takes away the “edge” of THC and
has been shown to reduce side effects like paranoia and memory loss. It’s also
been shown to reduce the “sleepiness” caused by THC, which is why certain
strains of marijuana can increase alertness.

The oral usage of cannabis plant that is known to be non-addictive
and non-psychotropic in nature is a plant constituent cannabidiol – known as
CBD –which is absolutely safe for human use. In fact, it is well tolerated by
our beings and can show rather positive and beneficial results as far as our
health is concerned. This was further backed by the scientific data publish in
the journal called Current Pharmaceutical Design.

Other investigators and researchers reveal that the oral intake of
10mg of THC did not show very beneficial or promising results. In fact, the
consumption of THC (in as low as 10mg) was linked with a number of behavioral
and physiological effects. Sometimes, it even lead to sedation and increased in
heart rate, which resulted in health complications. On the other hand, the
administration of CBDas much as 600 mg did not show any negative or harmful
results.

The investigators then concluded that no differences were found
between placebo and CBD on any physiological, symptomatic variable. When
volunteers with good health used THC for a certain time, they showed acute
physiological and behavioral effects – even though the oral administration of
THC was in a small quantity. On the other hand, when the same volunteers took
CBD, they showed healthy results and concluded that the oral administration of
CBD is not only safe and well-tolerated, but also healthy.

According to another study featured on CNN, Dr. Sanjay Gupta
concluded why he was forced to change his mind on smoking weed. According to
him, people have been systematically and terribly been misled for around seven
decades within the United States for their consumption of marijuana. He
believes that considering marijuana a part of the drug pharmacopeia in the
United States was a big loss that continued for almost 70 years.

He further explained with the help of his research. Marijuana was
usually prescribed for neuropathic pain – this is one condition that can be
controlled with the oral administration of marijuana. The doctor further
confesses that his utmost fear was to find out that every 19 minutes a death
takes place in the United States due to drug overdose – which in most cases is
accidental and not deliberate. This statistic is so horrific keeping in mind
that every 19 minute one individual is losing his or her life just because they
had a drug overdose. He declared that he continued to search and search only to
find out if the same results can be expected from marijuana as well but the
results of his research surprised him.

There was not even a single death case that was documented as a
result of marijuana overdose. As a result, he believes that we have been
following this myth for a very long time – thinking marijuana is harmful for
our system whereas CBD has been recognized for its ultimate health benefits.

Even BBC News didn’t stay behind and adding its two cents to the
whole research. BBC news declared how the compounds of cannabis can help halt a
deadly disease like cancer. However, even cannabis may have certain
psychoactive properties and that’s the reason CBD remains on top of the list.
CBD is not associated with kind of psychoactive properties therefore it can’t
be used for violating laws.

The declaration was made after the reports of the Molecular Cancer
Therapeutics were released.

According to CNS Neuroscience and Therapeutics, CBD or cannabidiol
was considered as a promising drug that could help with various
neurodegenerative disorders. CBD that makes up around 40 percent of the
Cannabis extract has been declared as one of the most promising drug that could
be utilized to deal with any psychoactive and cognitive reactions. Moreover, it
is highly tolerable for human oral administration and thus provides immense
level of health benefits

Also, cannabidiol also has a very negligible toxicity and therefore
is not harmful for humans. Before the benefits were revealed and CBD was
declared beneficial for health, a large number of trials have been carried out
to confirm its clinical efficacy.

All in all, if you want a very straight forward answer to “if it
is safe to use?” the one-word answer would be “absolutely!”
